The cold Nissan Abel air is hitting hard the open window of Citroen Z-Aix that
In the front seat, Robert Langdon felt the city running fast in front of his eyes.
He's trying to clear his mind, a quick pigeon and a SAP shave made him look a little better, but that didn't calm him down and frighten him out of his tension The frightening image of the body of values no. Still stuck in his mind. Matt Jack Sunier
Langdon could not help but feel the profound loss of values. I've got to get back to work.
His isolated but distinguished dedication to art made him truly a respectable man. His books on the secret codes concealed by Boussan and Tonet were Lagdon's favorite books. For the Angdun, tonight's meeting with Sauniere was one thing. He yearned for him and when the values did not come again, the body of values suddenly appeared. Jack Sauniere did it himself? Turn around.
Langdon turned his eyes outside trying to get that picture out of his head.
They are dragging carts loaded with sugar-soaked almonds, and there are restaurant hostesses carrying garbage bags to the corners, and there are two lovers staying up in solidarity to seek warmth in the night breezes loaded with jasmine. The Citroen passed the crowd with clout and confidence, and the sound of its loud whistle divided the passersby as a sharp knife, the captain was delighted to learn that you were still in Paris tonight." Say, "The policeman."
First time since they left the hotel. By a happy coincidence, Langdon had all feelings but happiness and luck, and by chance
As a person who spent his life discovering hidden internal connections between different symbols and ideologies, Langdon saw the world as a complex web of dates and events strongly interconnected. The links may be invisible, but they always exist, buried just below the surface, as he repeated during his lectures
For students in my Harvard Symbols class.
I think Langdon said you found out where I was at the American University.
Paris, right?
"Driver shook his head, denying Interpol.
Langdon thought, of course... He forgot his passport request from the guests at
On any night, anywhere in Europe, Interpol officials can know exactly the identity and location of any inguest, and find Langdon in Rhett. Paris may not have taken more than five seconds. As the Citroen's speed increased, heading across the city to the south, the side turned up.
To illuminate a light from the Eiffel Tower, its light illuminates the distant right sky. I have a recounting of this view of Langdon's thought with the ghetto, remembering the beautiful promise they made a year ago, that they would meet again every six months in some romantic place on Earth that varied every time and Langdon thought the Eiffel Tower could be on that plaque. But unfortunately, the last time before. Langdon, Vitoria, I was at a busy airport in Rome over a year ago. Have you seen her?" Looking outside, the policeman asked him."
Langdon stared at him with a certain misunderstanding.
"It's fun, isn't it?" And he pointed out from the window to the Eiffel Tower, "Did you ride it?"
No, I didn't go up the tower.
It's a French symbol that I think is fascinating.
Oma doesn't have a good head. Symbolists have often noticed that France - the known country
His masculinity and lustful leaders are as short and insecure as Napoleon and Bayan the Short. He would not have chosen a suitable national symbol to represent him better than a thouson-foot bar. When they reached the intersection on Rivoli Street, the light was red, but
The Citroen "did not slow down, but the policeman sped through the" Crossroads "towards the wood-floor section of Castillion Street which sits the north entrance of the famous Tuilery Gardens - the Parisian version of Central Park. Most tourists misinterpret it as being associated with the thousands of tulips that bloom here, but Tuileries is actually a literal reference to something much less romantic. This garden was once a huge contaminated pit where Parisian contractors treated clay to make bricks or to finance.
The city is famous for it.
As soon as they entered the empty garden, the policeman reached out to the panel under the steering wheel and walked off
The loud whistle. Langdon sighs with a sigh of relief. Outside the car, the dim light emitted by the front halogen lights of the car deflected from the gravel on the wooded road, and the loud noise of the wheels made a rhythmic sleeping tone. Langdon had long regarded the Tuilerian as a sacred land, the gardens where Claude Monet experimented with shape and color that literally inspired the birth of the Impressionist movement, but tonight this place is surrounded by a Western aura of doom.
The Citroen now veered to the left, heading west to south of the avenue.
Central to the park, then as it turns around a pond, the driver traverses through a desolate wooded road, towards a square and wide back. Langdon has now been able to see the end of the Tuileries Gardens
It's characterized by a huge stone arch.
Carusel's bow.
DESPITE THE ARCHITECTUAL RITUALS AT THE CAROSEL ARCH, A LOT OF
Art venerates this place for a completely different reason. From the aisle at the end of the Tuileries you can see four of the world's greatest art museums... One on each of the four compass points. Outside the window on his right hand, south across the Seine and Voltaire's bank, Langdon could see the exciting facade of the old train station - now the important museum of Orsi
Looking at Al Isar, he can glimpse the pinnacle of the supermodern center of Pompidou that is embracing
Museum of Modern Art.
Behind him to the left, Langdon recognized the Obelisk of Ramses, which rises above
Trading is the master of the Jo do Bohm Museum, but straight ahead from the east, through the arch, Langdon was able to see the great Renaissance Palace, which has become the most famous art museum in the world. The Louvre
LANGDON FELT A BIT OF SURPRISE WITH HIS EYES TRYING UNUSEFUL TO ABSORB THE BUILDING BLOCK
Completely. Along a vast square, the museum's facade stood high above its head like a fortress challenging the Paris sky. The Louvre was the tallest structure in Europe, in the shape of a huge horseshoe stretched over an area equivalent to three Eiffel Towers arranged together from beginning to end. And even the million-square-foot open plaza between the museum pavilions doesn't have to
That equates or even challenges the scales and the prestige of a vast facade. Langdon had once walked. The entire perimeter of the Louvre, it was an amazing three-mile journey and despite approximately five days, it would take a visitor to make it
Of the sixty thousand and three thousand pieces worth in this construction, most tourists chose a brief experiment that Langdon dubbed the "Light Louvre" - a quick race through the museum for tourists to see the most famous triangular masterpieces: the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Mello, and the Winged Victory. Art Beckwald once boasted that he saw all three artifacts in five minutes and six seconds.
The driver took out a handheld radio and spoke a quick French, saying, "He's here.
Mr. Langdon, two minutes and we'll be there. "Du Minet ". AND THERE WAS A RUMBLING RESPONSE. UNUNDERSTOOD FROM THE OTHER END
The policeman shut down the device and now turn to Langdon.
Major.
THE DRIVER IGNORED SIGNALS PREVENTING VEHICLES IN THE YARD, AND THE ENGINE STARTED AND RUSHED
Speeding up the Talcitroen, passing the turn. The main entrance to the Louvre is now clear, soaring at a distance, surrounded by seven milk-shaped pools with lit fountains.
It's the pyramid.
The new entrance to the Louvre Paris became almost as famous as the museum itself. Except
The controversial glass pyramid that was deafened by the modern style Chinese-born American engineer IMPY Pi continues to harass tradionists who felt it insulted the dignity of a Renaissance square Goethe described architecture as melodramatic music
The foul sound of nails cutting a blackboard. But the autistic admirers saw the transparent pyramid with seventy-one pearls on top of, uh, a wonderful synergy between the old structure and the modern approach - a symbolic link between the old and the modern - and the hand of the Louvre was hurled towards the next century." The policeman asked: "Do you like our pyramid?
The French seem to like to ask Americans that.
Question. It was a bombshell: admitting that you like the pyramid would make you a nobby American and disliking it would be an insult to the French
Mitterrand was a running man. Langdon responded, leading into a trap. Answer, it is said
The former French president who recommended building the pyramid suffered from what was called the "pharaohs complex ". He alone was responsible for flooding Paris with Egyptian obelisks, art and artifacts. Francois Mitterrand was so fond of Egyptian civilization that the French still call him the Sphinx.
What's the Captain's name? "Langdon asked, changing the subject.
Abizo Fash said the driver was approaching the main entrance to the pyramid. Langdon looked at him amazingly, wondering whether every Frenchman had a mysterious quality.
To an animal. You call your pure bull?
"The man swung his eyebrows and said, Your French is better than you know, Mr. Langdon My French is terrible, Langdon thought, but my knowledge of the symbols of the towers is very good. Favorus.
The zodiac flag was symbolically constant, unchanging all over the world. The policeman stopped the car and pointed out a big door between two fountains next to the pyramid, "This is it.
The hallway, good luck, Sir.
Won't you stink with me?
D 'Orders to leave you here.
.".... Langdon leaned and got out of the car. As you say. You should know.
The policeman turned on his car and sped off.
He stood alone and watched the taillights of a choking car, and realized he could
He easily changes his mind to get out of the yard, take a cab, and go back to the hotel.
He sleeps. But himself thought this might be a stupid idea, and as Langdon was moving towards the squirt spray, Angdon felt a sense of anxiety and caress.
About to cross a fictional threshold into another world. The vibe of this evening's events, which made it more like a dream, has come under control again. Just 20 minutes ago, Langdon was sleeping in his hotel room, and now hes standing in front of a transparent pyramid built by Bo
The Sphinx is waiting for a cop named Bull.
And think... I must be locked up in one of the Salvadoran Dales.
Langdon walked a long way toward the main doorway-a huge revolving door. And in
The inside of the foyer was light and there was no one in it.
You knock?
Langdon wondered if one of his colleagues was a respected Egyptian atar scholar in
Harvard had knocked on the front door of the pyramid one day and expected someone to come and raise a hand to knock on the glass door, but he was caught up in the fantasy of someone coming from below in the dark, quickly climbing the coiled staircase. The man was short, full of brown body, apparently like a Neanderthal, wearing a tight breast-padded jacket stretched over his broad shoulders, and advancing forward with his strong, clinging legs and clear leverage. He was talking in a rage, but he ended the call when he saw him arrive and pointed to Langdon to get in.
I am Pizo Fash, "the man said as Lagdon pushed the revolving door in. The domes in
"Central Judicial Police Directorate ". It was his tone. Like a big storm.
"Langdon reached out to shake his hand to Trobert Langdon.
Big Fash's cuff collar Langdon's hand with overwhelming force.
I saw the picture, "Langdon said, the policeman told me that Jack Sauniere
"... The same as when I was a kid.
Mr. Langdon, the Esphenian eyes of Fash, as you see them in the picture, are only the beginning.
What Sauniere did.
